WATCH: Things Got Weird At The White House When Reporters Asked About Trump’s Mental Health

President Donald Trump could be suffering from stress and diminished mental capacities and the White House is getting increasingly nervous as reporters are asking questions about his declining health.

On Wednesday, Trump appeared to slur words during a speech announcing his decision to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, prompting political observers and health experts to question his mental fitness.

Conservative commentator Steve Schmidt said “that impairment is chilling” to see in a president. The White House has dismissed questions about the struggled speech, saying Trump had a dry throat.

The White House has been trying to mask Trump’s declining state by avoiding interviews with objective journalists and heavily managing his travel schedule, but reporters are beginning to ask the question that the White House doesn’t want to face. Is Donald Trump healthy enough to be president?

The White House is so sensitive to questions about Trump’s declining health that Sarah Huckabee Sanders came back after the White House briefing ended to claim that Trump is fine.

“I’ll break the rules and I’ll come back. I know that there were a lot of questions on that — frankly, pretty ridiculous questions. The President’s throat was dry. Nothing more than that,” Sanders assured reporters.

“He does have a physical scheduled for the first part of next year, the full physical that most Presidents go through. That will take place at Walter Reed, and those records will be released by the doctor following that taking place.”

These are the kinds of questions that should have been asked when Trump was a presidential candidate and refused to release his medical records.

The American people have no available medical records on Donald Trump, and no one should believe this White House when they say that they will make the full results of Trump’snext physical public. The presidency is the most stressful and demanding job in the world. It ages a person by ten years. Trump is already in his seventies, and the people around him treat his medical records like they are state secrets.
